This is indicated by an image posted on LinkedIn by Ubisoft employee Bordeaux. On the screen with the expansion's logo, the date "10/06/2025" is clearly visible, which corresponds to October 6.
Interestingly, the The image appeared in a post by Charlie Guillemot's son, head of Ubisoft, who met with the studio's team. Although Ubisoft itself has not yet officially announced a release date, there were rumors earlier about a September releaseConsidering that the photo was taken recently, it is possible that the intra-team schedule was shifted for October.

If the October release does happen, it will coincide with the launch of competing project Ghost of Yotei, a PlayStation exclusive that also takes place in Japan.
